I thank you and so does the rest of my family.

I am not critical of those who are afraid to speak up. Fear is a real thing. It is, however, up to us who are not afraid to fight those things we think art evil, wrong or dangerous. the Wisconsin amendment was all three. It was evil because political people used human beings as inanimate objects in a political fight for votes. The voters were not demanding this amendment. They want good schools, lower crime rates, honest legislators, decent roads. It was wrong because it violated our own Constitution in several ways. It is dangerous because it sets a precedent that allows a majority to isolate minorities and take away the basic human rights that we are all supposed to enjoy. Who is next, short people, the lower IQ's, the Blacks, Jews, Catholics. What a dangerous precedent, indeed.

We must not let these kinds of things go unchallenged. And, parents must not abandon their gay children, not ever.

For me and my family, again, we say thank you. Bill McConkey
